The importance of creating mathematical worksheets and their impact on critical and creative thinking skills

This research is motivated by low critical and creative thinking skills. Apart from that, many previous studies have looked at the effect of worksheets on critical and creative thinking skills. It is worth evaluating whether the statistical results of these studies can be trusted and reported. For this reason, this research aims to compile and statistically evaluate the results of an independent study that examines worksheets on critical and creative thinking skills. The research method used is meta-analysis. A study search was conducted from 2014 to 2023 in Google Scholar. The search results provided 47 studies that met the inclusion requirements for extraction. This research produced 1.960, an excellent category for the entire study, and the mean population correlation coefficient was 0.498. This shows that the effect of the worksheet on critical and creative thinking skills is very high. Limitations of this research include the fact that the discussion of this research is only used as a basic idea for further research, and only analyses the results of studies over the last ten years. Developing worksheets is recommended to improve critical and creative thinking skills.
